Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Isolation, Characterization, and Differentiation Potential

Cell Transplantation, 2013
In mammals, the two main types of adipose tissues, white and brown adipose tissues, exert different physiological functions. White adipose tissue (WAT) is for storing energy, while brown adipose tissue (BAT) is for energy consumption.

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Histological Characterization and Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Gonads During Early Sex Differentiation in the Northern Snakehead (Channa argus)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study delineates the early sex differentiation timeline in the northern snakehead (Channa argus). These findings provide a foundation for future sex‐control breeding in this economically important species. ABSTRACT The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China.

Perivascular adipose tissue as a relevant fat depot for cardiovascular risk in obesity [PDF]

, 2018
Obesity is associated with increased risk of premature death, morbidity, and mortality from several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure.

Dual Action of Dipyridamole in Experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis: Suppression of Joint Inflammation and Upregulation of Muscle Anabolism via Adenosine and AMPK Pathways

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is a frequent comorbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), linked to prolonged, severe systemic inflammation. Purinergic signaling (adenosine, AMP, and ATP) plays a crucial role in inflammation, myogenesis, and muscle hypertrophy.

Long Noncoding RNA H19 Mediates STAT3‐Dependent Activation of Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Systemic Sclerosis Skin

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Dermal systemic sclerosis (SSc) fibroblasts and their exosomes can activate keratinocytes in SSc, with long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 highlighted as the most up‐regulated RNA in their cargo compared with healthy controls (HCs). The role of H19 in SSc pathogenesis has never been investigated.

Quantitative evaluation of gap junctions during development of the brown adipose tissue.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
Gap junctions of rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) were studied with the freeze-fracture technique during development. The frequency and the mean area of gap junctions increased after birth, reached a maximal development during the functional phase of the ...
